Abstract

Bibliometric studies in the area of physical education are still relatively rare, especially on the relationship between physical activities and violence. The objective of this research was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on the association between violence and the practice of physical activities. A search was conducted in the Web of Science database, through a search with appropriate keywords and data extraction from the VantagePoint V.8 software. This study included a total of 2,163 articles. The authors who produced the most on the subject were James F. Sallis (USA), Ester Cerin (Australia), Billie Giles-Corti (Australia). The first author is also the most cited. The United States is the country with the highest scientific production, while the University of California is the institution that leads research on the subject. The most frequent research area in publications on the topic was Public, Environmental & Occupational Health. It was possible to conclude that there is a network of organized researchers, with James F. Sallis as the central researcher. The studies are predominantly carried out in more developed countries with lower homicide rates, while Latin American countries, with the highest homicide rates, have developed little research on the subject.
